WARWICK — Bishop Dominick Lagonegro, Auxiliary Bishop of the Archdiocese of New York and Episcopal Vicar of Orange County, addressed the parishioners of the Church of St. Stephen, the First Martyr, during Masses last weekend.
He explained that it was his sad duty to report that it had come to the attention of Archdiocesan officials that while the Rev. Casmir Mung’aho was a seminarian, he had fathered a child in a consensual relationship with an adult woman.
Mung’aho was recently assigned to St. Stephen’s Parish.
Lagonegro explained that as a candidate for Holy Orders, Mung’aho had never revealed this to the bishops or seminary authorities and that he was the father of a child was not known at the time of his ordination last May.
